Investigators: Valkovič L.  Frollo, I.  Ústav merania SAV Phosphorous MR spectroscopy (31P-MRS) forms a powerful, non-invasive research tool for energy metabolism quantification in the heart and skeletal muscle tissue in diverse patient populations.  In this work, we have quantitatively assessed the impact of contrast agents, used in radiology, on the relaxation properties of 31P metabolites….

Investigator: M. Hain The Institute of Measurement of the Slovak Academy of Sciences was in 2020 as part of two European COST projects focusing on multimodal and correlated imaging methods. The first of them is focused on multimodal imaging in the field of forensic science – project COST CA16101 “Multi-modal imaging of forensic science evidence…

Investigators: M. Hain, V. Jacko In 2020, the results of the APVV-14-0719 grant project “Physical non-destructive methods for complex testing and analysis of cultural heritage artifacts” were significantly applied (the solution of the APVV application type project ended in 2019). The methods were used in cooperation with restorers in the survey of one of the…

Advanced high-resolution X-ray microtomography measurement methods have been developed in evolutionary biology (team led by Prof. Klembar, PriF UK) and helped solve the more than 100-year-old problem concerning the origin of amniotics and thus the important stage of vertebrate evolution. Fossil findings of two groups of early quadrupeds and amniotic progenitors (Diadectomorph and Seymouriamorph) were…

Investigators: Přibil, Jiří, Přibilová Anna, Frollo, Ivan Parallel measurement of cardiovascular parameters using a photoplethysmographic (PPG) optical sensor and standard portable blood pressure monitors was carried out in various situations of physical and mental stimulation and relaxation. The cardiovascular changes can be detected by the Oliva-Roztočil index values, the instant heart rate and the blood…

Investigators: Svehlikova, J. – Zelinka, J. – Tysler M. – Tino, P. In an informal collaboration with P. Tín from the University of Birmingham, we investigated the possibility of using two parameters simultaneously for non-invasive inverse localization of the stimulation site in a patient with stimulated heart activity using surface ECG maps and chest geometry…

Investigators: Anna Krakovská, Jozef Jakubík   Methods of causal analysis have been applied in diverse scientific fields from economics, through climate sciences to research trying to understand connections in the human brain. We already know that time series from dynamical systems require different approaches than, for example, causal analysis of interconnected autoregressive processes. In [1]…

Investigator: Gejza Wimmer jr.   The research concerned the adherence to the prescribed treatment for patients with cardiovascular diseases and, in the case of selected publications, focusing on elderly patients. Based on real data, many potential factors influencing the re-initiation of treatment were examined and evaluated in a group of patients who discontinued previous treatment…

Investigators: V. Juráš, P. Szomolányi, L. Valkovič The goal of the research was to investigate T2 – relaxation parameters mapping as a possible marker for low-grade human articular cartilage lesions during a one-year follow-up, possible changes during the follow-up and compare the reliability and sensitivity of these measurements on high-field (3 T) and ultra-high-field (7…

Investigators: R. Rosipal, N. Porubcová, Z. Rošťáková Mirror therapy is a new tool for the rehabilitation of damaged motor pathways and functions of patients after a stroke. It is based on visual feedback imitating the movement of the injured limb. In the study we have shown that mirror therapy is associated with prolonged changes in…
